Remove Object and UIntPtr as valid cast from pointer #512

Thank you!
I spent some time research why this code was there in the first place, since this was written by Ati and that code is usually very well researched.
Seems like .NET Core did a breaking change in this behavior. The code being deleted is compatible with desktop .NET Framework and that's why it was there.

Ah, could you also delete these lines: runtimelab/src/tests/issues.targets Lines 1172 to 1177 in 1eda197 So that we run the tests in the CI. |

I wasn't able to test locally, I kept getting errors while building with this command: |

If the Debug directory exists, the runtime must have been built with Debug configuration.
We really need a more user friendly approach to the development inner loop. I rarely run the test scripts locally because it's a bit annoying. |
# Local heap optimizations on Arm64 1. When not required to zero the allocated space for local heap (for sizes up to 64 bytes) - do not emit zeroing sequence. Instead do stack probing and adjust stack pointer: ```diff - stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]! - stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]! - stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]! - stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]! + ldr wzr, [sp],#-64 ``` 2. For sizes less than one `PAGE_SIZE` use `ldr wzr, [sp], #-amount` that does probing at `[sp]` and allocates the space at the same time. This saves one instruction for such local heap allocations: ```diff - ldr wzr, [sp] - sub sp, sp, #208 + ldr wzr, [sp],#-208 ``` Use `ldp tmpReg, xzr, [sp], #-amount` when the offset not encodable by post-index variant of `ldr`: ```diff - ldr wzr, [sp] - sub sp, sp, #512 + ldp x0, xzr, [sp],#-512 ``` 3. Allow non-loop zeroing (i.e. unrolled sequence) for sizes up to 128 bytes (i.e. up to `LCLHEAP_UNROLL_LIMIT`). This frees up two internal integer registers for such cases: ```diff - mov w11, #128 - ;; bbWeight=0.50 PerfScore 0.25 -G_M44913_IG19: ; gcrefRegs=00F9 {x0 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7}, byrefRegs=0000 {}, byref, isz stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]! - subs x11, x11, #16 - bne G_M44913_IG19 + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#-112]! + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#16] + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#32] + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#48] + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#64] + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#80] + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#96] ``` 4. Do zeroing in ascending order of the effective address: ```diff - mov w7, #96 -G_M49279_IG13: stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]! - subs x7, x7, #16 - bne G_M49279_IG13 + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#-80]! + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#16] + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#32] + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#48] + stp xzr, xzr, [sp,#64] ``` In the example, the zeroing is done at `[initialSp-16], [initialSp-96], [initialSp-80], [initialSp-64], [initialSp-48], [initialSp-32]` addresses. The idea here is to allow a CPU to detect the sequential `memset` to `0` pattern and switch into write streaming mode.
Removes Object and UIntPtr as valid cast from pointer.
Fixes the following code which returned true and now returns false:
Fixes #189
